2019 Jeep Cherokee

TAKATA RECALL THIS MORNING 8/26/19 WE WERE DRIVING UP A HILL AT A LIGHT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, BUT THE ONLY THING WORKING WERE THE BRAKES. REALIZING IT HAD STALLED,WE ATTEMPTED REPEATEDLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINS AND WERE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT FLASHED WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND WANTS $80 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. TOOK IT ELSEWHERE AND NO CODES CAME BACK. PROBLEM STILL REMAINS AN ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO EPISODES OF SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING AND NEARLY WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN IN TO TRAFFIC.I COULD NOT FIND THE REPAIR BILL FOR THE FIRST EPISODE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED ONCE. THE OTHER TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. ENGINE IDLES ROUGH, LURCHES FORWARD WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND OCCASIONALLY HAS LOUD ENGINE NOISE WHEN IDLING. WHEN ACCLERATING IN THIS VEHICLE IT RATTLES. VEHICLE SPEEDS UP WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN ENGINE HAS A HIGH REVING SOUND TO THE POINT IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL OR IS GOING TO EXPLODE. ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE STOP START LIGHT COMING ON AS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT. *DT

"TAKATA RECALL" MY 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE (LATITUDE PLUS, FWD) ALWAYS HAVING ISSUES. VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, HAVING TO DRIVE ACROSS AMTRAK TRACKS TO GET TO WORK IS JUST NOT SAFE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON, NOT TO MENTION THE ROTARIES SOUND OF A CRUNCH WHEN DRIVING. HOW MANY OIL CHANGES DO THIS CAR REALLY NEED IN 2 MONTHS, DRIVING 5 MILES TIMES 5 DAY TO AND FROM WORK? I ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST 2,000 MILES LEFT BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BATTERY AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND MANAGED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW MINUTES TO DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,467.

2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE STALLS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, THE BATTERY LIGHT DISPLAYS, AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED, PUT IN PARK, AND RESTARTED. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED BY A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR BY JEEP, BUT SERVICE FOR THE RECALL WAS INEFFECTIVE AND ISSUE REMAINS. BOTH EXPERIENCES WERE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION (DRIVING) AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR BOTH ON LOW GRADE INCLINES. THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WITH LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE 2ND EXPERIENCE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. ALSO, THE SPEED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS INCONSISTENT WITH BOTH LURCHING AT TAKE OFF AND SLOW ACCELERATION. *DT *DT CONSUMER STATED THE JEEP WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FINAL LEG OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT, IN THE LAST WEEK, JEEP ACKNOWLEDGED AN ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WE WERE FURTHER TOLD THAT A NEW ENGINE WILL BE ORDERED FOR THE JEEP BUT BECAUSE OF THE MASS AMOUNT NEEDED, IT IS A 2-3 MONTH WAIT. IN THE WAIT TIME, WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO CHECK AND PURCHASE OIL FOR THE JEEP EVERY 2-3 WEEKS OR AS NEEDED.*JB

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHEN OIL LEVEL RUNS LOW. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO INDICATOR SHOWING OI LEVEL IS LOW. CAR WAS DRIVEN JUST 3500 MILES FROM DATE OF PURCHASE AND ENGINE HAS A CONFIRMED OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ISLAND AUTO GROUP (LOCATED AT 1580 HYLAN BLVD, STATEN ISLAND, NY 10305, (718) 979-0934) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE ON THE FIRST VISIT. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OIL PUMP, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. ON THE THIRD VISIT, THE OIL PUMP WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. ON THE FOURTH VISIT, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.
